Is it possible to keep Ophthalmotilapia ventralis and Op. nasuta together in 200x60x60 cm tank?

As juveniles they'd be ok, but as they become mature it's a little small. You'll also run the risk of cross breeding....

O ventralis is also a much more aggressive species than O. nasuta.
So I think that nasuta will be too much disturbed by its cousin.
